Nat Geo Greenlights ‘Jaws @ 50’ Feature Documentary Marking 50th Anniversary of Film & Book, From Steven Spielberg’s Amblin & Nedland Media
National Geographic has given a green light to Jaws @ 50, a feature documentary to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the bestselling novel and film.
Nedland Media’s Laurent Bouzereau will direct the documentary, which will include footage and photography from the Benchley and Spielberg archives, as well as all-new interviews from the worlds of film, literature, pop culture and ocean conservation. The behind-the-scenes stories of the book’s writing and the legendary tumultuous production of the film — including being over budget, over schedule, malfunctioning mechanical sharks, weather issues and sea sickness — will serve as the spine of the documentary. “The idea of diving into the past, present and future legacy of Jaws, combined with an informed and inspiring discussion about sharks and the ocean in one documentary, is a unique opportunity to explore the perfect union between art and science.”
